Saints Lateral South-Paw XI

[Clem Fandango]

A team of Saints and former Saints, all left footers. Can you think of a better one? Please correct me also, I didn't do any research this is all off the top of my head, so I may have a few wrong.

Grobbelar

Baird, Shaw, M Svennson, Maya Yoshida,

Fabrice Fernandes, Punch, Danny Fox

T Lee, Jim Magilton, Bale

Surman instead of Fox. He was left footed wasn't he?

Surman instead of Fox. He was left footed wasn't he?

Much better

 

[Sotonist]

Don't recall Baird ever being left footed.

FM doesn't think so either.

Surman in midfield, Danny Fox instead of Baird in defence.

 

[Joe!]

Then bring in Skacel instead of Lee.

Is Yoshida left footed?

I always thought I could rely on FM for this kind of thing until they made the legendary John Frendo right footed.

Disappointed in you, SI.

 

[pass the football]

Yeah.

I really don't think he is. I could only find one compilation video of him and it's quite old but he almost exclusively uses his right foot for tackling and striking the ball:

if he's left footed, this was a great shot with his wrong foot.

and maybe baird is left footed after all.

Here's my revised team:

Grobbelar

Danny Fox, Shaw, M Svennson, Jos Hooiveld

Fabrice Fernandes, Punch, Andrew Surman

Rudi Skacel, Jim Magilton, Bale

edit: Skacel in; for Joe (I got to see that Frendo free-kick again).

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

Here's my revised team:

Grobbelar

Danny Fox, Shaw, M Svennson, Jos Hooiveld

Fabrice Fernandes, Punch, Andrew Surman

T Lee, Jim Magilton, Bale

Jim Magilton up top? Interesting!

 

[fatletiss]

Man, you obviously meant 21st century only!!!!

 

[fatletiss]

David Peach, Nick Holmes, David Armstrong, Bobby Stokes, Wayne Bridge, mark Dennis, ... for just a few.

 

[Che’s Godlike Thighs]

Graeme Le Socks and Neil Heaney

Surprised no-one's mentioned Ramirez.

Jim Magilton up top? Interesting!

It's a fluid formation (to say the least).

Also, full backs that usher wingers inside when defending, and cut inside to cross when attacking.

John Sydenham, Tommy Traynor

Mickey Adams, Derek Statham, Tommy Jenkins, Dennis Hollywood
